AWWA Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE18)

What is the future of water? That’s a big question. Arcadis is tackling it head-on by empowering water utility innovation and digital transformation with research-based insights and value-maximizing solutions. At ACE18, we seek to connect with the industry on these topics and explore how we might create a sustainable future, together. Below is an overview of our participation.

Arcadis grows its asset management capabilities with the addition of digital and data expertise with the acquisition of software and analytics firm, SEAMS. Together, we will be able to provide clients with a unique blend of expert technical and asset knowledge combined with advanced analytics to guide strategic decision making.

“The drive for better performance and returns sits at the heart of most businesses. Our approach is all about mining the plethora of data available to us and – most importantly – making the most effective use of it to inform the decision-making process.” – Mark Engelhardt, Managing Director, SEAMS

"Water utilities in North America have an immense amount of data. Decision analytics can help utility leaders optimize their business strategy by empowering them to make decisions faster, with more confidence and supported by data. This kind of power can accelerate a utility’s ability to improve water resiliency, efficiency and quality in the short- and long-term.”
– John McCarthy, Water President, Arcadis

PRESENTING THE ANNUAL ARCADIS SCHOLARSHIP
